We’ve all heard it before: ’sitting is the new smoking’

But why?

The longer we sit or lay down during the day the more we are at risk of heart disease and cancer*, not to mention lack of mobility and functional movement.

It is important to break up endless hours of sitting at your desk with some stretches and movement to keep the blood flowing around your body, open up your body to full range of movements and also to help you stay on top of those long reports or getting back to your emails.
